Hello @Struan12, welcome to the community. I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with this but hopefully some of our members might be able to help

I'll pop your post over to our section about financial support so that more people can find it and offer their advice. Hope you've had a good weekend!

I'm no expert here but why would you contact DWP about your Swedish state pension? It should be the Swedish Pension Agency that administers it.https://www.pensionsmyndigheten.se/other-languages/english-engelska/english-engelska/pension-system-in-sweden#:~:text=Every%20year%20that%20you%20work,premium%20pension%20and%20guarantee%20pension.

I had contacted them and completed forms but because of brexit at the moment the British government do not have an automatic Reciprocal arrangement with Sweden so the Dwp state pension are sending me a form to complete so they will then look at my pension claim I have enough nat ins in both countries and I am still working as well.
